Exodus 34:6-9
The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation.” And Moses quickly bowed his head toward the earth and worshiped. And he said, “If now I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, please let the Lord go in the midst of us, for it is a stiff-necked people, and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.”

"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." - Psalm 34:18

God wants to be with us when we are wounded and broken in spirit. In Tigray Ethiopia, where a history of war and conflict has left many impacted, the Diocese of the Horn of Africa partnered with ARDF to use Trauma Healing Institute materials to train facilitators to bring Trauma Healing to their communities. Through their work, the reflection of this psalm becomes palpable to the broken hearted.

As communities along the U.S. Gulf Coast from Mississippi to Florida prepare for Hurricane Isaias, expected to make landfall late Friday night as a Category 2 hurricane, we invite you to join us in lifting them up in prayer. Forecasts anticipate a storm surge of 5 to 7 feet, along with damaging winds, heavy rain, flash flooding, and the possibility of tornadoes.

Please pray for families and individuals as they prepare, evacuate, and seek shelter, that the Lord would keep them safe in the midst of uncertainty. Pray for relief and recovery efforts, that resources would be abundant, that communities would come together to care for one another, and for the safety and wisdom of first responders, emergency personnel and volunteers.

Lord, hear our prayer. 🙏
